NUMBER ONE BESTSELLING AUTHOR Sophie Kinsella's emotionally charged, witty new standalone novel about love and long-term relationship survival - and how those we think we know best can sometimes surprise us the most . . .
After being together for ten years, Sylvie and Dan have a comfortable home, fulfilling jobs, beautiful twin girls, and communicate so seamlessly, they finish each other's sentences. They have a happy marriage and believe they know everything there is to know about each other. Until it's casually mentioned to them that they could be together for another sixty-eight years... and panic sets in.
They quickly decide to create little surprises for each other, to keep their relationship fresh and fun. But in their pursuit of Project Surprise Me - anything from unexpected gifts to restaurant dates to photo shoots - mishaps arise with disastrous and comical results.
Gradually, the surprises turn to shocking discoveries. And when a scandal from the past is uncovered, they begin to wonder if they ever really knew each other after all...
This book has all the hallmarks of what we love about Sophie Kinsella's writing. Great characters, great writing, fast pace, great entertainment. Love it!
The author is a master of funny asides, especially when describing her main character, the quirky Sylvie. But towards the middle this becomes a suspenseful mystery as well as new and ominous characters from the past appear. If you want a fun, quick read that will make you laugh, cry, and think, treat yourself to "Surprise Me."
